Kevin Smith revealed last week that he plans on revisiting Clerks with a sequel entitled The Passion Of The Clerks. The interview reveals that the sequel will pick up 10 years later and will be “about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s. Those dudes are kind of still mired, not in that same exact situation, but in a place where it’s time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex.” Shooting may start as early as January of next year. I’m still a little surprised to realize that the original has been out for ten years, but I’m not sure that Smith will be able to pull this one off. The low budget of Clerks was part of its charm, and trying to reproduce that will be impossible. Only an awesome script could possibly make the sequel any good, but I will admit that I’d like to see it…
